EP104 — Cold Case

A dirty Chicago cop is the only one awake when the city's own police start killing — and every victim's secrets are written on the wall. 🎧 A crime-horror audio drama, narrated by Cade. "Well now... lookit you. Pull on up a chair, friend. Your beef's gettin' cold — lean over the plate when you bite it." Welcome back to the DEN OF CADE. Some cases go cold because nobody solved them. This one went cold because everybody did. Chicago, January. They call the killer the Hawk, after the wind off the lake. He walks through locked doors. He knows your secrets before he gets there. He never leaves a print. And the only man who can see the pattern is Detective Nate Kasprzak — a cop who takes envelopes, shakes down kids on the Red Line, and killed a man once himself. Then one night he finds a note on the seat of his locked car, in a name only his dead father ever called him. Tonight's Archive Entry: ▸ The Hawk — three families, and words on the wall only a police file could know. ▸ The Session — a warm office, a kind doctor, and a little white machine that hums. ▸ Room 1413 — the floor that doesn't exist, and the men who walk into it. ▸ Tuesday, 10 A.M. — the day the sirens test. 🎵 END THEME — "COLD CITY" by CHAOT Listen on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/cold-city/1855047428?i=1855047429 Buy on the iTunes Store: https://music.apple.com/us/album/cold-city/1855047428?i=1855047429&app=itunes Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1PQWOfGn46B7I1mrj79t1k Buy on Amazon Music: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G2N4R75V …and on all major streaming platforms.
